Test Server Feedback

I can't seem to activate the skin licenses at all.

Is there confusion?

This was indeed broken.

It is now fixed (a few minutes ago) - go ahead and try it out!

Took the liberty to sticky this post and make it the official feedback thread.

We are also planning a mass test on the 9th of April to make sure the feature performs as expected when there are a lot of ships in a system.

Any feedback and issues are welcome here. Take into account that this is still an early stage of the feature so there are several bits still in development. We just wanted you guys to have access to this as early as possible.

Yes, the Mac client is pooched again (it downloads the initial patch, crashes - then alternates between downloading and updating the launcher when you restart it). And this was with a clean install. Again.

It's to the point where I'm asking myself why I even bother wasting my time trying to offer any assistance when you can't even provide a workable client to test. I was basically unable to test for the last release as well due to the download-on-demand issues with the Mac.

Bundles are definitely a thing we'll be looking at doing, and we will make sure they are thematic and make sense.

Changing a skin (to one you own) in station resets the zoom level. Very annoying.

Any update on the conversion of skin BPC?

i.e. Will a multiple-run BPC be converted to multiple skin tokens?

This seems to work well, I haven't found a way to use unlicensed skins, switching in station works although sometimes I've found that the skin reverted when I undock, haven't got a consistent way to reproduce that, you can see other people changing skins in space... all good stuff. I can absolutely confirm that I will buy some skins when this is on TQ; the Duvolle Talos is sexy and I bought quafe vexors ahead of time...

But I have an issue with this: you've included even very rare skins in this program. Even absurdly rare skins, like the Scorpion Ishukone Watch. I know you want people to undock and use these skins but the thing is nobody CARES unless you can destroy them. When the skin's permanent, the killmail is just of another Scorpion and nobody cares about that. Maybe that's too extreme an example for you, how about the Quafe Megathron? Any of the T1 industrial skins? The Mackinaw ORE Development Edition? People are in fact using those. They're taking an absurd risk but that's their choice and everyone is exhilarated when they get an opportunity to kill one. You're taking that away with this system, please at least leave these skins that were never widely distributed as their own types, lost on destruction, specified on killmails and distinguishable on d-scan.

I'm not too bothered about whether I kill a Thrasher or a Thukker Thrasher (although I would be all over any Nefantar Thrasher I find), but at least keep the rare skins as special snowflakes that we can lovingly crush.

What are the prices in AUR for the new skins like? I'm away from home and can't get on SiSi.
